The title of Berlin-based duo Elmgreen & Dragset's current exhibition at Kunsthalle Praha-'READ'-is both a worthy suggestion and, in its contemporary pop cultural usage, a kind of benign threat: to "read" someone means, essentially, to roast them.
Elmgreen & Dragset have invited more than 60 artists to contribute to the show, with some works selected from within the Kunsthalle Praha's collection. The contributions are embedded within a scenography that is reminiscent of municipal libraries the world over: the grey, double-sided metal shelving they use is a staple of any such institution.
